Please note that I know, this story has no plot at all. And that is exactly what I told Violet (my friend) but first, I want everyone in this fiction to know eachother, and trust eachother. So everyone has to make friends with eachother. Remember, survival training starts in a week, and day one hasn't even passed by. But before survival training comes later in the fiction, there will be a suprise, and a new character.
"Hey, Naruke, Kaikoku, I just realized somethin'..." Akizakura said. The three children all sat on a hill, waching the sun set into the pink sky.
Both children turned their heads. "Yeah, what is that?'
Akizakura paused. "Well...have you ever noticed that we've been friends all this time, and yet, we've foughten more then we've agreed." She said.
Kaikoku looked down in his lap. "Yeah, I guess your right..."
Naruke continued to stare into the sun. "Well...we never sevearly argue, we just do in a fun way." He said.
"Yeah, but it's happened over five times now, the kind of arguements where we really yell at eachother in a hating way."
"Well...why are you suddenly bringing that up? We'll always be friends, all friends argue with eachother."
"Yeah, even those two girls, Yokiro and Hanami."
"Well i'm just saying that we should work together more often. I mean, in a fun way or not, to us arguing is just as normal as breathing." Akizakura fell down on her back, staring into the sky.
"You know what...your right. We should stop that, were all acting like a bunch of 6 year olds." Naruke put his hand out. "From this day..er, night forward, we should all promise to fight less. Deal?"
Kaikoku and Akizakura put their hands on top of Narukes. "Deal." They both said.

Hanami and Yokiro were in their normal positions, in the same tree as before. The two had trained all day with difficult, and now both were just plain tired. Yokiro this time sat by the trunk, while Hanami still hung from the tree in her jaguar-like posistion. Yokiro was breathing rather heavily, and Hanami found it near impossible to keep her eyes open. Face it-they were tired, very tired.
"Yokiro, what time is it..." Hanami mumbled to her friend.
Yokiro opened her eyes wider. "I don't know, maybe somewhere around seven, or eight or something..." She replied quietly. None of them felt like talking very loudly.
"I think i'm going to go home, I just want to get something to drink and then go to bed..." Yokiro said to Hanami.
Hanami finally manaed to open her eyes. "Yeah, me too...so I guess i'll see you tomorrow?" She asked.
Yokiro smiled. "Uh-huh." She then began to walk away, forgetting to help Hanami down. And Hanami also forgot. She put both arms on the branch and then let go of it, accidently plunging to the ground. This made her more awake...she could atleast open her eyes now. "Stupid tree..." She also began to walk home.

That night, everyone went to sleep. Well, everyone stayed up for a while lost in their own thoughts.
"I don't want to get up so early tomorrow just to go to the academy..."
"Stupid Saruto, making so much noise..."
"My dog needs to stop breathing so loudly..."
"Whatever."
"..."

The next day everyone arrived back to the academy, tired, and bored...as usual. Everyone sat where they did before, and Hanami this time didn't try to tell Naruke something by lip sync. Yokiro fiddled with her bangs, as everyone listened to the teacher.
"As you all know, survival training is next week. Today we will go over a few basics...such as main jutsus, hiding, training...stuff that will come in great handy. So listen carefully." The teacher announced, looking at Naruke.
"Why is he looking at me like that..." Naruke narrowed his eyes at the teacher, staring at him back. Hanami and Yokiro just watched. "What an idiot..."
The teacher turned back around, while Hanami giggled and Yokiro just rolled her eyes as usual.

That day, everyone went outside, in the academys 'backyard', a woods and a forest mixed together.
"Okay children, this game is somewhat like hide and seek...see, everyone hides. And make sure everyone hides very well. When everyone is hidden i'll summon a few ninja hounds, and they'll track you down. Since there are 29 students, 29 hounds will be summoned, with each person running from their own-but nobody will know which one is their own. If they find you they will bite you, and you'll be out, and have to wait inside. There is no threat at all in moving around...in fact, that's what will save you. But be careful not to colide into anyone else. And also, don't make a sound when your hiding. And you are allowed to save other people...just be careful not to get caught yourself. And be aware that i've set up traps in all sorts of places too, so be extremely careful, and watch out. Got it?" He asked.
Everyone nodded.
"Okay then, now go hide. And no hiding with anyone else, this is a by-yourself thing."
With that, everyone seperatly hid into the trees and bushes, and elsewhere.
Yokiro hid deep down low into a bush's narrow part, to give her room to easily escape if a hound tried to track her down. Naruke was well hidden in a secluded part of the area, where most of everyone hid. Akizakura was at the very top of a tree giving her a great leaping escape if she needed it. Hanami stood on a tree branch below everything, but it was hard for her to be seen because bushes covered up her viewing point. Kaikoku was hidden in the same bushes as Yokiro-he was just unaware of it. The teacher did a series of hand signs. Suddenly all kinds of different looking and shaped dogs, 29, poofed up, snarling. Teacher sat down on the roof to see most people hiding-and to make sure nobody cheated.
"Well...here it goes..."
The dogs immeaditly began to track down the children, and they all leapt int the bushes, using their noses. Yokiro and Kaikoku instantly began to flee-but since they were in the same spot, they accidently crashed into eachothers heads, causing intense pain.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Yokiro exclaimed, rubbing her head. Kaikoku put a hand over her mouth, trying to make her quiet. "Shh, the dogs will hear us..." He warned. Yokiro ripped his hand away from her mouth.
"Don't, thats gross. Go, move!" She said. Kaikoku obeyed, and they both fled, being very lucky the dogs didn't catch them.
"Kaikoku, it's againest the rules, but i'm pretty sure that teacher won't find out...were gonna have to work together to help eachother from traps, and dogs." Yokiro said to him.
"But what if teacher catches us? We'll fail! And we still have a week away until the survival test starts!" He said.
"Shut up, if you want to pass, then someone must work with me! I have a powerful technique that can only be used with help from a partner, and-"
She was inturrupted by Kaikoku. "Well if you need a partner, go find Hanami and bug her!"
Yikiro smacked him on the head. "Fine then, I will!" She yelled.
Yokiro stopped running, and spun around, to try and find Hanami. She saw Kaikoku run away, in an oppisite direction. Clapping her hands by her mouth, she yelled as loud as she could.
"Hanami makes a better partner then you anyways!"
---
"Ha, this should be easy...I think..." Hanami did a hand seal. "Inu no jutsu!" She once again began to shrink like she had before, except this time she didn't transform into a rat, she transformed into a dog. The girl took off, now hoping the dogs wouldn't reconize her by human scent, but it was worth a try. And if they noticed her, then she could always flee. In her dog form she took off.
Meanwhile, a silver colored dog sprang at Akizakura, snapping at her legs, but she moved out of the way. "So your my bitch..." She mumbled, dodging the dogs fangs. "Get away from me, your worse then the dead rat!" She kicked the dog in the face, causing it to yelp and leap back, accidenly knocking Akizakura off the treebranch. Both of them tumbled to the ground. Akizakura landed flat on her back, and closed her eyes, but shot them open again. She sprang up clutching her arm from pain. She fled her eyes around, catching the sight of the silver dog, who now had a bloody nose from her kick.
The dog immeaditly stood up and snarled, blood from its nose dripping onto its fangs. Akizakura took out a kunai knife, and faced torwards the dog, showing no fear. The dog sprung its hind legs before itself, leaping at Akizakura with a loud bark. She immeaditly tried to leap out of the way, but the dog was coming at her faster then a train. She clamped her hands together doing a hand sign. Too slow-the dogs fangs sank into her leg. Suddenly Akizakura disapeared in a puff of smoke, and a log was replaced with her body, leaving the dog biting a chunk of wood.
Teachers eyes widened. "Nice work Akizakura...I see, you used a replacment jutsu..." He whispered, seeing the dog fall down in confusion.
Naruke ran through the tree branches, simple enough. He hadn't even been close to a dog yet, like Hanami. He continued to look around, in hopes of a better hiding place, but had no luck. His thoughts were eclipsed by the sound of the dogs barking...god it was annoying. And there was still plenty more of it to come, since the dogs would continue to hunt until one person was standing.
"Shut up..." Naruke whispered. He looked around, seeing nothing important at all. He then continued to prance through the forest for a hiding place.
Meanwhile, Akizakura reappeared in an area, that was clean from dogs. She looked around, sniffing the air, eyeing the trees like strangers. She leapt back onto a branch. "Why do I have an odd feeling that i'm being...watched..." Suddenly she sprung around, ripping out a kunai, and stabbing the bark. A camoufluaged trap suddenly fell off the branch, as Akizakura leapt back avioding the trap. "Easy..." She mumbled, rolling her eyes. She began to wander off to a new part of the forest.
Hanamis paws thumped againest the bark of a tree branch, as she sniffed the air, trying to act like one of the summoned dogs. "Dammit...I don't speak dog..." She tilted her head upwards and barked as loud as she could, topping her trick to blend in. Suddenly around three dogs stopped, sending her odd glances. Hanami took a step back, as they just snorted at her, and took off again. Hanami didn't dare think a word...she knew that if she did, it would be transmitted outside where all of the other dogs could hear. If that happened...then her trick would be over.
A wound was on Narukes ankle now, as he 'limped' slowly through the trees, keeping an eye out for "his dog". Afterall, teacher did say that each student had their own special dog after them, but they couldn't know which one it was. "Dammit!" He whispered, suddenly tripping from pain. He held onto his ankle for a moment, and then removed his hand, seeing a bloody stain on it. Naruke pushed his headband down to his ankle to hold down the amount of blood he was losing, since he had fallen into a trap-for the fifth time...
Yeah, I know, very short, very crappy, but I want to leave a little cliffhanger. I expect 3-4 parts of the dogs...but yeah. Hey, by the way, is Violet the only one reading this story?
